The cyprus swamp at Corkscrew is famous for its wildlife. We had barely gotten on the path, which is a winding boardwalk though the swamp, when we were stopped in our tracks by a mother racoon (Procyon lotor) and her three little kits crossing just in front of us. It was interesting how the racoons in Florida seem to often be out in the daylight. Clearly, they we used to people. They were focused, crossed across the little bridge and climbed into the water. They swam a few feet to a bush and then could all be seen about six feet in front of us, so much for the need for long telephoto lenses! I took the photo of Figure 1 of a little kit, delightfully reaching for a bunch of berries.
